“Kissing Was An Excellent Discovery,”
Dakota observed, appearing extremely proud of himself. “We’re moving closer to the time of joining.”
“No, we’re not,” Kathy said, her voice rising. “Yes, okay, I want you, I want to join with you. It’s called making love, if the proper emotions are involved. But it isn’t going to happen between us, Dakota.”
“Why not?”
She folded her arms over her breasts. “Listen to me carefully. I do not take the act of making love lightly.”
“Nor do I.”
“Fine. Then you should be able to understand that it’s too risky. What if I…Darn it, what if I fall in love with you and then you zoom back to 1877?”
Dear Reader,
It’s the CELEBRATION 1000 moment you’ve all been waiting for, the publication of Silhouette Desire #1000! As promised, it’s a very special MAN OF THE MONTH by Diana Palmer called Man of Ice. Diana was one of the very first Silhouette Desire writers, and her many wonderful contributions to the line have made her one of our most beloved authors. This story is sure to make its way to your shelf of “keepers.”
But that’s not all! Don’t miss Baby Dreams, the first book in a wonderful new series, THE BABY SHOWER, by Raye Morgan. Award-winning author Jennifer Greene also starts a new miniseries, THE STANFORD SISTERS, with the delightful The Unwilling Bride. For something a little different, take a peek at Joan Elliott Pickart’s Apache Dream Bride. And the fun keeps on coming with Judith McWilliams’s Instant Husband, the latest in THE WEDDING NIGHT series. Our Debut Author promotion introduces you to Amanda Kramer, author of the charmingly sexy Baby Bonus.
And you’ll be excited to know that there’s more CELEBRATION 1000 next month, as the party continues with six more scintillating love stories, including The Accidental Bodyguard, a MAN OF THE MONTH from Ann Major.
Silhouette Desire—the passion continues! Enjoy!

Dear Reader,
When I was first published as Robin Elliott with Silhouette Desire back in June of 1985, I was delighted to become a member of the Silhouette family.
Through the years, Silhouette Desire has become a favorite of readers across the country and around the world, a fact that doesn’t surprise me. The Silhouette family has grown, and I have the privilege to be surrounded by very talented writers.
What does surprise me is how quickly the years have passed since that first Robin Elliott book was published. I feel as though I’ve traveled forward in time just as Dakota does in Apache Dream Bride.
To be chosen to be a part of the celebration of the 1000th Silhouette Desire novel is a tremendous honor. I salute the authors, who have contributed to the success of the Desire line, the editors, who have been those authors’ partners, and I salute all of you who have been steadfast readers of our books through the years. You, too, are members of the Silhouette family.
While I began my Silhouette career as Robin Elliott, I am now writing under my own name of Joan Elliott Pickart.
